Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
For £250 it's a good value amplifier, but you can get superior performance and functionality from a number of its rivals
Powerful, punchy performer ; steers effects well
No HD audio decoding ; no audio over HDMI ; auto set-up can be hit and miss ; sound lacks precision
A decent amp for the money, but close rivals sound superior and offer much improved functionality

Expert review by : Clint DeBoer (audioholics.com)
Yamaha's RX-V365, with its MSRP of just $249.95 makes it one of the least expensive ways to get into an HDMI-equipped AV receiver. The receiver has two HDMI inputs, but neither captures audio.
Consumer review (newegg.com)
This things worth the money. Repaced a old kenwood unit that gave up after 10 years. I really like the Yamaha much better.
I think the rx-v365 is awsome for the price. Read other reviews and got real nervous about some issues like having a hard time with the remote, general set up difficulties and a hard to understand manual. Not at all true, just take your time, read the...
Once in a while the volume down on the remote turns the thing up
Consumer review (newegg.com)
HDMI audio passthru lacking is not a problem, since I don't use my displays' speakers at all. It seems to be a bizarre design choice, but it's workable for many setups. I use HDMI for video input to receiver, HDMI as video output, and optical audio in...
Bought from NewEgg during special pricing, so excellent value! Sounds great. If all you need is a 5.1 receiver that's solid, well designed at a good price, this is the only one I found that meets my need. My old failing Kenwood is out, and what a...
Many display elements are way too tiny to read, for an A/V receiver that's usually far away. Setup menus can be perplexing, esp. setting up inputs. Search for and download info, which is not inc. in oper. manual ; Comcast cable remote does not have a...
Consumer review (newegg.com)
I bought this unit for my basement TV. Its a 42inch plasma with 5 speaker surround and Bass. For the Price this unit has a lot to offer. It will give you enough power to run a full surround sound 5 speaker system with a powered sub-woofer. If you are...
Very simple to use ; Has 4 large buttons in front that can be Pre-set to go strait to the device of your choice. (Also it remembers the settings you select for these inputs) ; Front Mini Jack for your Ipod, Zune or other Mp3 Player
No rear 120 volt outlet to power on other devices ; Only a Mono output for Sub-woofer (But does a great Job)
Consumer review (newegg.com)
As you may have guessed from my comments above, I primarily needed a way of adding multiple component and HDMI to my HDTV which only has 2 HDMI's and one Component input. As far as audio goes, I have two bose bookshelf speakers stacked on top of each...
Does exactly what it says, runs speakers and links your HDMI, Component and Composite devices to your tv all for a little bit more money than a good HDMI switch box
Remote is not laid out very well so it is hard at first to figure out how to select devices and change basic audio settings ; No audio pass-through via HDMI so you have to run separate digital or analog audio connections for each input device
Consumer review (newegg.com)
4 stars because it does everything i needed it to do. For the cost though it was a great deal, i got this for exactly $135
Lost a start because i didn't realize that the HDMI part of this doesn't take in sound. How lame is that
Consumer review (newegg.com)
If the next model up that allows you to run audio out of your HDMI is too expensive and you want to settle for optical you can still enjoy Blu-Rays that use DTS-HD MA sound from your PlayStation 3. Simply go to the Audio/Video settings and choose...
Stylish, inexpensive, and functional 5.1 surround sound. Easily connects for Dolby Digital and DTS through 2 optical ports. Is capable of using with Blu-Ray but only through something like the PS3 (see other thoughts)
Only 2 optical ports. If you are like me you have a PS3, 360, TV and maybe something else. Had to buy a switch to accommodate. Some of the analog RCA plug ins were a little confusing as to what ran to what as far as the correct setting on the front to...
Consumer review (newegg.com)
I'm not a fan of having to reassign the inputs (And not being able to rename things). Example: I had to set up my HTPC as the DTV, my DVD player as CD player (due to optical outputs) and my DTV receiver as DVD player (since it was only system to have...
Awesome power and sound
Configuration can be a pain! Will not process HD Component input connections to HDTV thru the HDMI output either
